Post #4 Prompt
A paragraph on how you, as a teacher, might make use of the concepts presented in Chapter 7, and what technologies you would like to use to achieve these goals.
A paragraph addressing why or why not you would encourage or require your students to develop outline, idea map, and storyboarding skills.
A paragraph on new skills you acquired in the last week that you think will be especially useful to you in your educational career and why you think so.
In my opinion mind-mapping, outlining, and using a storyboard help students not only to learn the information but also process the information given. They also teach students a valuable tool for learning and processing information later in their educational career. Whether it be in grade school or later in post-sececondary school. This is a tool that will be very useful to them.
By encouraging student to map their ideas when starting new chapters gives them a headstart on learning the information before lectureing the class. This allows the class to go smoothly with less time interupted by questions.
The skills I have learned will prove beneficial because if the teacher is organized then the class will be too. And no student can be expected to learn in a chaotic enviorment. One of the strongest things a teacher can do for his or her classs is to keep order. Students of all ages in my opinion benefit form this and if you establish proceedures that you use every chapter then this provides that structure and order that they need.
